From the Rabbi's Desk... Purim Is One of the Most Women-Centered Festi¬ Vals in the Jewish Calendar 150 West End Ave. New York, N.Y. 10023 Vol. V, No. 5 Adar II-Nissan, 5730 March-April, 1970 From the Rabbi's Desk... Purim is one of the most women-centered festi¬ vals in the Jewish calendar. Since the entire mir¬ acle was wrought through the good offices of Queen Esther, not only does the Megillah bear her name but also the Halacha dictates that women fully participate in the occasion by their obligation to hear the Megillah reading during the night and morning of the holiday. It is therefore apropos to take this opportunity to discuss our Bat Torah program, which is one of the most exciting and successful innovations of LSS this year. Despite all of the blatant faults of the "American Way of Bar-Mitzvahing"—from the vulgarity of the chopped liver in the form of a Bar Mitzvah boy to the hypocrisy of a treif Bar Mitzvah affair— the institution has nevertheless served to foster religious education for boys. It is largely as a result of the Bar Mitzvah syndrom that so many youngsters from only marginally affiliated families receive the opportunity of Jewish education, and a proper Hebrew School with dedicated faculty and creative curriculum (alas, all too few in number) can at least attempt to inculcate the feeling of rootedness in Jewish tradition for which so many of our youth yearn. For this reason we include Sabbath home hospitality as part of our Hebrew School program, and attempt to have the b'nei- mitzvah lead in the prayers in addition to (or even in the place of) the traditional haftorah. Our main thrust is to make the student feel totally at in home the Synagogue as well as to inspire him with the relevance of our faith to contem- life. Our success can best be measured by Page Two LINCOLN SQUARE SYNAGOGUE Schedule of Services FRIDAY, MARCH 13 Kindle Sabbath Candles 5:42 P.M. Mincha & Kabbalat Shabbat...5:55 P.M.

A series of labor and shipping problems overseas set us back in the deliveries of the marble facing, and this affected other trades as well. All is now resolved, and we can look forward to continued progress in our con¬ struction. The unique design of this edifice does not permit either change or substitution in plans or materials and requires, when delays occur, a halt and wait in almost every department. Fortunately it was possible for us to continue the completion of all electrical and duct work, the elevator and most other equipments which compensated for the delay in our outside work. The finishing trades will shortly start work in the final stages of construction and will permit our occupancy well before the High Holidays. We submit this progress report in order that our congregants be able not only to shape their own plans for forthcoming simchot through a realistic timetable, but also to realize our need for financial support at this crucial time. Our Syna.gogue has continued its progress on a full time basis in each and every activity. We have a growing membership and a growing student body in our Hebrew School and our adult classes as well. Our Services are filled to overflowing, and we honestly can lay claim to be one of the most vigorous religious centers in this City. Each one of us has a great role to play, and the opportunities are growing each day for stronger participation on the part of everyone. Sisterhood Scannings Another memorable evening in the annals of the Sisterhood of L.S.S. January 31, 1970, the Gala Cocktail Party for the members and friends of the Sisterhood, was a delightful event. The spirit and gaiety of the affair was greatly enhanced by the abundance of delicious hors d'oeuvres, drinks and goodies served throughout the evening. The Occasion: The drawing of the "Winner of the Two Weeks in Israel for Two." Preliminary to the final drawing, several lucky numbers were drawn for lovely gifts from our Treasury Chest. The final drawing of the lucky award went to Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Druckman. Unfortunately they could not attend the party because of the illness of Mrs. Druckman. We trust she has fully recovered by this time and that before long they will be off on their exciting trip to Eretz Yisroel. We are proud to announce that this venture was a phenomenal financial success, due to the conscientious and untiring efforts of our dedicated and dynamic chairman, Mrs. Sylvia Greenberg. Kudos to Sylvia for a job well done! Jf. >'fi # jfc In conjunction with the Testimonial Purim Dinner being tendered in honor of Mr. & Mrs. George Feldman, a Dinner Journal is being published as a fund raising project. Sarah Glickman, Sisterhood Chairman fur this endeavor and her Committee have beeen working diligently to secure the much needed advertisements and we are proud to report on the success of this undertaking. Our heartfelt appreciation and grateful (Continued on Page 8) Page Four LINCOLN SQUARE SYNAGOGUE Purim Law and Lore 1. Purim Seudah — A glorious repast in honor of the holiday. It is incumbent upon every Jew to eat, drink and make merry in celebration of Purim. The feast should begin during the day, Sunday, March 22, and extend into the night. Wine (and even a little schnapps) must be an integral element of the meal, and our Sages have taught: One may drink on Purim until he can no longer distinguish between the blessing of Mordecai and the curse of Haman." (Maimonides interprets this to mean that one should merely drink and fall asleep, for sleep makes intelligent distinction impossible). 2. Mishloach Manot — The sending of portions. Each person must send at least two gifts (two types of food ready to be eaten) to his neighbor. The custom is to send gifts through a messenger. 3. Matanot L'Evyonim — Gifts to the Poor. Every Jew, even if he be among the poorest in Israel, must give at least two gifts to the poor people (one gift to each indigent). 4. Kriyat Ha Megillah — Public Reading of the Scroll of Esther. The Megillah should be read on the eve and morning of Purim.

  • Shabbat Hagadol: What Makes It Great? This Friday Night We Usher in Shabbat Hagadol, “The Great Sabbath.” It Is the Shabbat That Directly Precedes Pesach
    The Weekly Message of Torah from Rabbi Rheins Shabbat HaGadol: What Makes It Great? This Friday night we usher in Shabbat HaGadol, “The Great Sabbath.” It is the Shabbat that directly precedes Pesach. Some maintain that it was called “HaGadol” (“Great”) because the sermon this Shabbat was frequently a long and detailed review of the laws and rituals of Passover and the Seder. That is, the “greatness” was not the quality of the Sabbath. Rather, it was the quantity, the great length of the service. Notwithstanding the kernel of truth at the center of that bit of folk wisdom, there are other explanations that are worthy of our attention. Rabbi Avraham HaLevi, a 17th century Polish scholar who is also known as The Magen Avraham, wrote a commentary in the Shulchan Arukh. He refers to a midrashic interpretation that maintains that this Shabbat is called “HaGadol” because a great miracle happened. Just before the Exodus from Egypt, on the 10th of Nisan, for some reason the Egyptian task masters did not try to prevent our ancestors from selecting the lambs that would be sacrificed and used the night of 14th, the evening of Passover. On this night, our ancestors began their preparations for their long awaited moment of redemption. The Passover began the evening of 14th of Nisan and was experienced on the night of the 15th, but the miracles that led up to and enabled the Exodus started well before. And so it is that though we will observe Passover with Seders next week in our homes on Friday night, April 19, we know that the greatness of that night depends on the preparation we make in the coming days.

  • Chopped Liver Recipe Chopped Liver Chopped Liver
    Chopped Liver Recipe Chopped Liver Chopped Liver - traditional recipe for chopped chicken livers with schmaltz and gribenes. Deli-style Jewish holiday recipe for Passover, Rosh Hashanah, or just because. Ingredients • 1 1/2 lbs chicken livers • 1/4 cup schmaltz, divided (see note below) • 2 large onions, sliced (for a sweeter chopped liver, use up to 4 onions) • 5 hard boiled eggs, peeled and diced (divided) • Salt, to taste • Black pepper, to taste • 1/2 cup gribenes (optional - see note below) • 2 tbsp minced fresh parsley for garnish (optional) Recipe Notes You will also need: large cast iron or nonstick skillet with lid large enough to cover, kitchen shears, chef's knife, food grinder or food processor. Makes 3 1/2 cups chopped liver, serving size 1/4 cup. Calories calculated using 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Learn to make schmaltz and gribenes here. Instructions 1. Prepare schmaltz and gribenes ahead of time, or purchase schmaltz from your local kosher market. Goose fat or duck fat can be used in place of schmaltz if desired. 2. Prepare the livers by cutting off any tough pieces or stringy tendons. You should also cut away any pieces of liver that look discolored, yellow or strange. This is pretty much the worst prep job ever, as uncooked liver has a soft and slimy texture, so make sure this step is done by someone with a strong stomach. 3. Add 2 tbsp schmaltz or oil into a large cast iron or nonstick skillet and melt over medium heat. Put half of the chicken livers into the skillet and fry them for 3 minutes on each side (about 6 minutes total).

No matter the weather, I don’t get into an autumn mindset till these two holidays are behind us. I know we’ll be together as a family to break the fast on September 16th. My brothers and I will discuss the quality and availability of smoked fish as we do every year, tell smokehouse stories—my brother Saul went to the smokehouses every week for years and years—and while none of us do that now, we still take a lot of interest in the fish we sell and the fish we eat. Need to turn your Labor Day barbecue into a Erev Rosh Hashanah family dinner? Need help going from summer’s ease to autumn obligations?

  • The Ethics of the Green Pass
    CONVERSATION GUIDE FOR CURIOUS MINDS THE ETHICS OF THE GREEN PASS By mid February 2021, four million Israelis had received the first shot of the vaccine and 2.6 million got both doses. That accounts for two-thirds of those eligible to get vaccinated. In a TV interview with Yonit Levy, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised all those who were vaccinated, and enthusiastically encouraged those not yet immunised to climb aboard the vaccination train. “I call on all of those 570,000 people over the age of 50 who have not yet been vaccinated: Go and get vaccinated! Not just for your health but for all of our health,” Netanyahu said in a rare Channel 12 interview. “If those 570,000 people over 50 get vaccinated, it’ll not only be the last lockdown, but we’ll be done with COVID, period.” Despite some health experts rebuking this assessment, Netanyahu went on to call the cabinet decision earlier that week to start reopening Israel “wonderful news.” He said the “Green Pass” framework that was approved will allow vaccinated Israelis to go to the movies, attend sports matches, and eventually restaurants and flights abroad. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. A survey of Israelis who have not vaccinated found that 41% said they fear possible side effects, 30% are not sure the vaccine is effective, 27% will vaccinate soon, 10% cited information on social media and 4% said the incentives are insufficient. Respondents were allowed to give more than one answer. What steps should the government take to address these concerns? 1 CONVERSATION GUIDE FOR CURIOUS MINDS 2.

  • Preparing for Your Passover Seder Banquet with Justin Kron
    Preparing for your Passover Seder Banquet with Justin Kron If you’ve decided to take on the adventure of preparing a traditional Passover meal to go along with The Passover Experience (also see instructions on how to set up the head table and participant tables for the Seder portion of the program), this document will provide several suggestions for your menu. I am confident that the recipes and tips below will help make your Passover meal as good as the one I would have in my own home. First of all, if you are not having the meal catered, I recommend shopping at a wholesale store (e.g., Costo’s, Sam’s, etc.), if one is available, to help cut down on the cost of serving a large group. During Passover season you should not have a problem finding everything you need. The best places to shop are in areas where there is a Jewish community, but most big-name grocery stores will have a section where traditional Jewish foods are offered, usually labeled “Kosher.” You can also buy many of these items on Amazon. Secondly, to help keep your clean-up simple, I recommend using disposable plates and tableware. Of course, you’re always welcome to break out your fine china and silverware like my grandmother did! Lastly, the menu and recipes below are merely suggestions based on a traditional menu; they are not requirements. You can serve anything you want, although I don’t recommend serving anything with leaven/yeast in it, since that is the main thing that is restricted during Passover.
